press room ::  archived news Little Rhino™ Little Rhino Gets Tough in Tight Spots. The Prep Crew® has a new addition to its herd. The Little Rhino is ready to attack railings, corners, window frames, and other hard-to-reach areas to make prepping small spots easier. Most people are unaware that the rhino is a very agile animal and can swiftly move and turn despite its large size. And like its namesake, the Little Rhino is also able to maneuver quickly in small spaces. The miniature size makes it easy to carry with you anywhere. Don’t let appearances be deceiving, though: the Little Rhino can be very dangerous—if you’re a tricky, tiny space about to be tackled! Another interesting fact about rhinos is that their horn is not a horn at all! Instead, it is made of keratin, a fibrous material similar to densely matted hair. The horn on the new Little Rhino from Wooster is made of black powder-coated, rust-resistant steel and measures 1 1/2-inches wide. To assure durability, the scraper is molded into the handle so it’s impossible for it to come loose or fall out. The Little Rhino follows in the footsteps of other popular Prep Crew tools by offering many similar features. A comfortable polypropylene handle with molded finger grips gives better control and reduces fatigue. It is also packed with industrial-quality wire. Staggered tufts eliminate rake marks. The Little Rhino is available now at all traditional paint and decorating centers or hardware stores. Approximate retail price in U.S. dollars is $6.99. Just ask for catalog number 1834 and be ready to get tough in tight spots! first posted on July 13, 2006 « Go Back
